Baobab oil is a pale yellow oil extracted from the seeds of the fruit that bloom on Baobab trees. These extremely old trees (some species live up to a thousand years or more) are native to Africa and feature thick trunks and thin branches. Often called “upside down trees” because of their spindly branches that resemble roots, the flowers of baobab trees bloom once a year and interestingly open at night. The baobab oil has been known for thousand years with its extensive list of medicinal properties, and to protect African women from the harsh desert environment. Baobab Oil absorbs into the body quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue, as a result it improves elasticity, encourages regeneration of cells and does not clog pours.The oil is nutrient-rich and is especially well-known for use on dry patches of skin where ordinary moisturizers don't seem to help.This oil contains vitamins A and E, along with omega 3, 6 and 9 oils. A very small amount goes a long way, because it's a pure oil with no fillers of any kind.
